In 2020, the BSHS hosted two major online events, the first of their kind in our collective experience. The first, a Twitter conference, was planned and accomplished before COVID-19 had quite been established as a serious global issue. The conference was planned, rather, as an innovation in travel-free conferencing, something that has been on the BSHS agenda since the IPCC report of 2018, calling for net-zero-carbon activity in all areas by 2050. As we discussed the Twitter conference, and watched the amazing energy, intellect and resourcefulness of its planners and hosts, we quickly saw that online delivery offered other advantages too – chiefly, wider participation. The pandemic offered the society a chance to take these lessons very boldly into the most important event of our scholarly calendar, which usually takes the form of an in-person annual conference, but this time was executed as an online festival.

传统会议的两种 BSHS 在线替代方案

2020 年，BSHS 举办了两次大型在线活动，这在我们的集体经历中尚属首次。第一个 Twitter 会议是在 COVID-19 成为一个严重的全球问题之前计划和完成的。此次会议是计划进行的，而是作为免旅行会议的一项创新，自 2018 年 IPCC 报告以来，该会议一直在 BSHS 议程上，呼吁到 2050 年在所有领域开展净零碳活动。 正如我们讨论的推特会议，并看到其策划者和主持人惊人的能量、智慧和足智多谋，我们很快发现在线交付也提供了其他优势——主要是更广泛的参与。大流行为社会提供了一个机会，可以非常大胆地将这些课程纳入我们学术日历中最重要的事件中，
